      He's been pretty good as skipper, Merret.

        God, some of the Swans ball movement makes me envious. Their willingness to run hard and make an option is outstanding.

              He's a fine footballer isn't he. No Crameri, but pretty good.

                  Swans look impressive. High scoring game and Swans look to have lots of options in front of goal and they move the ball with speed and precision, Highly skilled team.

                  Bombers looked OK in patches, it was close at times but you felt like the Swans were always in control.

                  Hopefully 2 meter Pete is suspended for the game against us.

                    And they did what we didn't last week in the last, which was make the Swans prove that they were. Bevo said last week's biggest disappointment was how we let them get away and I think that's valid, in that the whole game wasn't great and we only had patches but you just have to hang in there and make the other team prove they've got it over you.

                        Omg Stringer , I think every goal he got was because he was sitting 30 metres from the play asking for the over the back delivery. I actually saw him running into the wrong goal square in the last qtr asking for it at one stage.

                        Biggest laugh tonight was when Draper took an overhead mark and Darcy responded with it was due to his soccer skills as a kid.

                            Did Papley really say that?

                              Papley said there was “no love lost” between the Swans and Bombers and described Essendon coach Brad Scott’s mantra of playing on the edge as a “facade”.
                              “They really gave it to us. Brad Scott came out and said they want to have that Essendon edge and Peter Wright took it a bit too far,” Papley told 3AW.
                              “They were still getting into us. You can be tough and do all that stuff, but you’ve still got to be able to play four quarters.
                              “They were hitting us behind the play and things like that. They’re trying to do that stuff and I don’t know if it’s them or not.
                              “Brad Scott came out and said it’s the Essendon way, but … anyway I won’t go into it.
                              “You can pretend to be tough, but you’ve still got to win the ball and win the game.
                              “It’s all a facade I think, but anyway.”

                                Got to say, when I read the first quote I thought Papley was saying that Scott said the Essendon way is to pretend to be tough but you still have to win the ball etc etc
